The 2012 Kia Soul oil requirements are 3.5 quarts with a filter for the 1.6 L 4Cylinder engine and 4.2 quarts with a filter for the 2.0 L 4Cylinder engine. It is recommended to use Soul Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-20, or if unavailable, SAE 5W-30 for both engines. Oil changes are needed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles to maintain engine cleanliness and performance as oil degrades over time. Mechanics typically charge $40 to $60 for labor plus additional costs for parts during an oil change service.
